EMPA (European Master of Public Administration Consortium) is a network of European schools, that offer master programs in public administration.
The Project
If something is broken, it is glued! It is not as simple as it can be done in everyday life for any imaginable material as it is with art and cultural goods made of wood. Countless wooden sculptures, panel paintings or altarpieces in churches and castles worldwide show cracks and fractures due to their old age, which have to be glued and restoration become necessary. Then adhesives are required, which follow the principles of restoration ethics. Common, sometimes used adhesives from natural raw materials or industrial sources cannot be used for all purposes and can even lead to further damage. The goal of our project is therefore the development, optimization and targeted use of cellulose structures as aqueous adhesive suspensions for the bonding of wooden artifacts.
Your Mission and Responsibilities
Preparation, aging and testing of bonding of wooden specimens and artifacts
Development of an adhesive tools box for restorers including documentation and certification
Scale up of the adhesive production and market transfer
Your Qualifications
Strong interest in developing novel adhesives for arts and heritages
Excellent precise work, documentation, scientific writing and communication skills
The duration of this position is two years. The project will start January 1st, 2019.
